Updated story here on the Sixers adding Montrezl Harrell — his background, his game, the backup center spot now:

I think Montrezl Harrell could be super useful in a structured role in Philly, and he has really obvious strengths. The big question is whether the coach who went down with him and the ship in L.A. has learned any lessons:

Stagger Harden with him, throw Melton on the empty side, and you have something interesting in that 2nd unit. – 4:43 PM Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn

Updated #sixers cap sheet with the Montrezl Harrell signing. 13 players on guaranteed deals, 4 partially guaranteed. Will have to trim down to 15 by end of camp. About $765.5k under hard cap, but will likely get more space after waiving partial gtds.

Things just more interesting for the #Sixers with the acquisition of former sixth man of the year Montrezl Harrell.
Has this evaluated them to top of the East?

Interesting signing at the vet minimum, that Montrezl Harrell is. Sixers now up to 17 NBA contracts (some with partial guarantees).
We’ll see how it goes, but we do know Doc Rivers has a history with Harrell and favors experience. Probably not great news for Reed/Bassey. – 4:08 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin

Landing Montrezl Harrell for two years on the minimum is huge for Philadelphia. Even if the second season is one he’ll likely opt out of, that’s a massive pickup and fills the biggest hole on that Sixers roster. – 3:58 PM Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
